My Mum was diagnosed with low grade bladder cancer in March 2015. She has now had her bladder removed as the cancer had returned.

Mums bladder cancer has spread like wild fire. Lats year low grade in situ and now bladder removed, spread into the lymph nodes, vagina and left ovary. I was told that it was very treatable however this had not been our experience.

Very sorry to hear that. I hope your mother gets the best treatment possible.

I had my bladder and prostate removed along with 7 lymph nodes,my cancer has spread to a few lymph nodes ,one up near the lungs.I am hoping the chemo can kill that one.They do have a variety of treatments available,dont give up yet.Hugs to your mum.

Hi. Just wanted to ask if it spread to your lymph nodes and if it came up on a CT scan. Had my bladder and prostate removed along with 14 lymph nodes which all came back positive.

Hi Rayd

                It had spread to a few of the nodes they removed,this is why they have me on chemo now, the scan they used to check my lymph nodes was called a PET scan which apparently picks up cancer cells better than a CT or MRI. They found a few suspect nodes up near my lungs,but they said that they could be the result of an infection, after my chemo i will go back for another scan to recheck if im clear or not.
